I was wondering if someone could tell me where the fuel filter is located on a 1997 C280. My car has a miss on hard acceleration and I figure the filter should be replaced since it has 90,000 miles. Thank you.

 

Have the plugs ever been changed? Might want to do this also, with those miles. I sorry I can't help with the filter. I have a 99 C280 an still can't figure out where the filter or filters are for the fuel system. I'll bet though there is one under the car someplace?

 

Thanks for the advice. I have replaced the plugs and wires, and check to make sure they all arc when unplugged. I judt found the filter today. It is just in front of the passenger side rear wheel. you have to remove 3 nuts to get a plastic shroud off that blocks you from seeing it. Make sure you by new hose clamps before you replace because the old ones will be trashed.

 

So that's were the filter is, thank you!
